The Generation: The Rise and Fall of the Jewish Communists of Poland is a 1991 book about the intersection of communism in Poland and Polish Jewry. Its primary focus are the Polish Jews of the generation born in the early 1900s, many of whom embraced the communist ideology.

The author, Jaff Schatz, is a Polish-Swedish professor of sociology, founder and first director of the Institute for Jewish Culture at Lund University, Sweden.[1][2][3] The book is based on his PhD thesis, which he completed at Lund University's Department of Sociology in 1990.[4]
